Hi Jonathon

The German Z1300 website is a good place for spares.

It is indeed fiddly. In the end I just took the throttle bodies back off.

Evening all Does anyone know if it's possible to replace the throttle cable on a GPZ1100 Unitrack without removing the injectors ? I've spent too many hours wrestling to get the throttle bodies fitted into the airbox only to discover the throttle cable is badly frayed - not looking forward to having...

A bit of progress over the last few weeks. Heliccoils on the stripped threads, new piston rings fitted, barrels honed, head back on, camshaft timing done.

@ Al - I read about the workshop manual torque being too high so I was tightening them to 10NM - I'll try a bit less. I was using a Gclamp to hold the cams down while tightening the bolts - not quite as sophisticated as your setup though.

@ Skid mark - that's an idea - thanks

Got the cylinder head back from Seagar Engineering, cleaned, fixed and skimmed. I painted it with Simoniz Gloss and fitted it to the bike - all good so far. However 4 of the bolts on the cam chain caps won't torque to spec so the head is now back off and awaiting a helicoil kit from Bikers Toolbox. ...

When I removed the cylinder head I discovered the reason no 2 was blowing was because the stud was broken and had been JB welded in place. The head itself was badly pitted, the head gasket was wrecked - it's been sent to Segar Engineering to fix the exhaust stud and a skim - so that won't be a cheap...

Hello all Bought this bike in October last year as a half finished project from a bloke that had got fed up with it. He had got as far as painting the frame and wheels. The rest of the bike was in boxes. My intention was to get the bike running then return the paintwork to firecracker red. I pieced ...

Thanks. I'll send you a PM.

Hi
Have you still got the camshafts and camshaft sprockets for sale please ?

cheers

Thanks - I've sent you a PM.

Hello gents
Looking for a cylinder head for my (1983) Kawasaki gpz1100 unitrack that I’m in the process of restoring. If you have one, or know of someone who has one for sale that would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi All

I've contacted Mid Norfolk Mouldings and they still do the rear mudguard for the GPZ750 (£100) but only the shorter version - no issue for me. The bloke is in the process of winding up his business as he's retiring so if you need one of these you'd best get an order in quickly.

cheers

Excellent job. I've just read this entire post from start to finish as I'm about to do similar on a GPZ1100. The points you made regarding the paint/decals gave me some food for thought - leaving the decals to dry out for a couple of days before spraying the clear coat. Very interesting.

Thanks for that - I've emailed them
